Upcoming Events

Our fourth Adventure kicks off Friday, July 24, and ends on Friday, August 7! A huge thank you to our sponsors for helping us make this Adventure possible!

Our 7-part Adventure series is designed to inspire you- getting you out of the house to explore new paths, to recruit new 2-Day Walkers, and to raise even more money to fight breast cancer in Georgia!

For our fourth Adventure, we are challenging you to:

Increase your daily steps to 8,000 steps/ show us your best imitation of the 2-Day Moto Crew! While you’re out getting your steps in, snap a selfie with your fitness tracker when you hit 8,000 steps and send it into Whitney at wjones@2daywalk.org for a chance to be featured on our Instagram page! Before you head out one day, throw on your wildest 2-Day outfit (think “Moto Crew”) and film a clip of you guys rocking out in the streets, just like they do at out intersections during the 2-Day Walk! Send videos to Whitney for another chance to be 2-Day Insta-famous!

Fundraising Goal- Ask friends and family to sponsor you $2 for every mile you walk or ride a bike! For this challenge, tap into your inner Bike Crew member and go for a ride! Not a bike person? No problem! Just share your daily mileage for this 2-week period with your friends and family, and let’s see just how many mammograms, counseling sessions, lymphedema garments, etc. we can fund during this Adventure!

Contest: “Walk for One” for a Chance to Win a 2 Night Stay at the Whistle Stop Inn in NC:

Have we got an AMAZING contest for you! $1200 is the approximate amount it takes our grantees to take a patient all the way through the breast cancer diagnostic process. If you “Walk for One” in 2020 and raise $1200 or more, you will be entered into a raffle to win a 2 night stay at a beautiful bed & breakfast in North Carolina! 2-Day Moto Crew members and proud B&B owners Gladys and Larry Pilarski have generously offered to donate a 2 night stay at the Whistle Stop Inn (a $308 value) for one lucky winner! Contest runs now through the end of our 2020 Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer Experience (Sunday, October 4th), so you have plenty of time to fundraise. Good luck!!

Inspiration Locations: Vickery Creek Trail & Providence Canyon State Park: For this Adventure, we have two new great options to get you out of the house and moving!

Activity Challenge: We are challenging you to “walk across Georgia” with a partner- that’s 300 miles in 2 weeks! It’s a HUGE challenge, but divided between two determined people (about 10.7 mi/day each), we think you can do it!

Divide it up even further by tackling the challenge with your teammates. Don’t forget to send in pics to Whitney at wjones@2daywalk.org for a chance to be featured on our Instagram page!

Fundraising Challenge: We’re asking you to try and find one $20 donation per day leading up to the 2020 Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer Experience. For every 50 walkers who commit to raising $20/day between the start of this $20 challenge and the walk, we can fully fund one $20,000 grant in 2021!!

Don’t forget- good old fashioned emails and letters to friends requesting donations are proven to have the highest response rate, second only to an in-person ask. Need help with what to write? Contact Jon at jmcmurdo@2daywalk.org for ideas and a handy template!
